A person can take a document to Kinko's and copy it for 5 cents, but the County Clerk has to organize, store, retrieve and refile the documents as well as copying them. That represents a significantly higher cost. I believe the person who requests the copy should pay these costs; instead, the County Clerk is forced to spread the cost to all of us. Travesty.

pc, please.... they have had to do all that for over a century now that is there job, that is their function, if anybody could set up a effiecient fair but profitable copy system it would be them, they have a monopoly therefore go on to gouge the public with this profit center. Give me a break in their history it has only been the past 30 years where the public needed these copies for one reason or another. There has to be a better way...........it's 2007 not 1967...........
